Where I come from, that motor is just about broken-in.

Although, 245 hundred thousand miles= 24,500,000 miles.

Maybe you should rebuild.

If you aren't having any problems, spend your money on something else.

ive heard that after about 200,000 its a good idea to do a ring job due to the cast iron block wearing down the rings. have you checked your compression?

Yeah Check your compression, if it's under like 160, then do the rings.

That's what I was thinking :wtf: :lol: . I think you should probably do a tune up before you start modding the car. If you end up dropping money into it then you have a simple problem you cant figure out, and end up like the rest of the traitors "i dont want to mess with it anymore, so I'm selling for a civic" . Then you will be back, they all come back.

rebuild if you can afford it, but idt it would be necessary unless your compression reading comes out real low.

mod your engine till it needs a rebuild, then rebuild it and use the mods you already have :dunno:
